Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 No One Can Bully Her

Dillan furrowed his brows, but before he could think much more, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Harper, we're screwed. The girl we arrested today has some powerful backing. Even the higher-ups have been alerted, and they've ordered us to release her. If we don't comply, we're in serious trouble. You'd better come over quickly!"

He was stunned.

Even the higher-ups were alerted?

What was going on?

Wasn't this just a theft case?

After pondering for a moment, Dillan spoke with a cold face, "So what if she has backing? We uphold justice and we haven't wrongly accused anyone. As a suspect, it is her duty to cooperate with us for the investigation."

"Suspect? We've already called your mother, and she didn't lose her bracelet," the person on the other end said. "Also, Ms. Geller is not a tenant in Fallingwater Community. She recently bought the house at three times the market price."

"What?" He was shocked. "It wasn't lost?"

He suddenly realized something, and his face immediately turned ashen.

"Danny is furious. I made a sneaky call to you. You need to come quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Dillan angrily opened the door and walked quickly towards Amari.

"Slap!"

Amari was talking to Alisa when she was suddenly slapped. She covered her face and looked at him in disbelief. "Brother, why did you hit me?"

Dillan's face turned dark as he glared at her. "Tell me the truth. Did Mom really lose her bracelet?"

His little sister had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he didn't doubt her when she said someone had stolen their mother's bracelet. Besides, when he came back, their mother wasn't there, and therefore he didn't ask much about it.

Who would have thought that she would dare to lie to him.

Amari's eyes flashed as she said, "It really was lost."

"Slap!"

Dillan slapped her again. "You're still lying to me! Amari, is this how I educated you? How dare you falsely accuse someone of such a serious matter? Are you tired of living comfortably in this family?"

Amari turned pale and said, "Brother, you... you already know?"

Dillan was even more enraged when he saw her like this.

Thinking of what Danny had said on the phone, he grabbed her arm and said, "Come with me right now to explain everything. I warn you, if you dare to mess around again, I will kick you out of our family."

Amari didn't even have a chance to speak as Dillan dragged her out.

As they left, Alisa followed behind, appearing completely dazed and unresponsive.

The Criminal Police Unit.

Dillan hurriedly arrived at the Criminal Police Unit with Amari.

From a distance, he could see Danny seething with anger, shouting and berating several law enforcement officers.

He paused for a moment before walking up and said, "Danny."

"And you still remember who I am! You don't even give me enough respect!" Danny saw him and continued to berate him in anger. "Do you think this Criminal Police Unit serves only your family? Do whatever you want? Is this how you usually handle cases, Dillan?"

Dillan was momentarily speechless.

Without waiting for a response, Danny kicked him and said, "What are you standing there for? Go apologize to Ms. Geller! She came here because of you, and now she won't leave! I'm giving you ten minutes to make her leave, or you can leave instead."

Upon hearing this, Dillan immediately rushed into the interrogation room.

As soon as the door opened, Gianna was seen sitting on a chair wearing a face of apathy.

He cleared his throat and forced a smile, "Ms. Geller, I apologize for my negligence. I listened to my sister's one-sided words and brought you here without investigating thoroughly. I apologize to you."

At the entrance of the Criminal Police Unit, Gianna and Danny saw Sherman, Laney, and Ronan rushing over in a hurry.

"Gia!" Sherman ran over anxiously when he saw her, "Are you okay?"

Gianna felt warm inside when she saw his anxious expression. "I'm fine."

Laney pulled her and checked her over, relieved to see that she was unharmed. "You really scared me. We saw the news and were so worried. Seeing that you are all right, I feel relieved. Are you hungry? Shall I cook for you?" she asked.

Gianna smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat your hash browns."

"Okay, I'll make them for you when we get back."

After a pause, Gianna asked with a sideways glance, "Did I make the news?"

Laney nodded, "All major media in Rheinsville City were reporting it today. They said that Ms. Geller was caught stealing. Your father and I saw the news and came over right away."

Gianna replied with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "I see."

Near the entrance of the Criminal Police Unit, a black sedan was parked there.

Murray looked at them not far away and turned to ask Lloyd, "Mr. Finley, should we go over there?"

Lloyd's long fingers rested on the windowsill, his deep eyes slightly narrowed. After a moment, he said, "No need, let's go."

His fiancée really surprised him. She was able to get Danny to personally escort her out.

Not many people in Rheinsville City could have pulled that off.

On the way, Lloyd spoke slowly, "Find something for the Harper family to do."

Murray was puzzled and asked, "Are you trying to stand up for Ms. Geller?"

"No one is allowed to bully my fiancée. If someone did, they must pay a price." his voice was coated with a layer of frost.
